• Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.
• If you tighten the screw for a time longer than shown in
the figures, the screw or the point of the driver bit may be
overstressed, stripped, damaged, etc. Before starting
your job, always perform a test operation to determine
the proper fastening time for your screw.
• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors
including the following. After fastening, always check the
torque with a torque wrench.
1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost com-
pletely, voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be
reduced.
2. Driver bit or socket bit
Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket bit will
cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
3. Bolt
• Even though the torque coefficient and the class of
bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will
differ according to the diameter of bolt.
• Even though the diameters of bolts are the same, the
proper fastening torque will differ according to the
torque coefficient, the class of bolt and the bolt
length.
4. The manner of holding the tool or the material of driving
position to be fastened will affect the torque.
5. Operating the tool at low speed will cause a reduction in
the fastening torque.
